Origin/meaning

The arms are officially granted on December 29, 1954.

The sheep (Schaf) is a canting element. The colours are those of Bayern. The base shows the arms of the Lords von Lichtenstein, as the village developed around a sheep station of the Hohenstein Castle, which in the 14th century belonged to the Lords of Lichtenstein.
